Chapter 233 Help! Help! Help!
"What's going on?!"
Zhou Qiao was suddenly pulled over by Xu Songning, and her high heel stepped on Xu Songning's phone, shattering the screen completely.
Forget about their phones, their eyes were fixed on the bushes.
The figure in the bushes stood up, its face gradually revealed in the moonlight.
"You are..." Zhou Qiao's eyes widened. This face looked so familiar! Where had she seen it before?
"You're Qin You's girlfriend, aren't you! You didn't admit it before, and you still don't admit it now? He said it again, that you're his girlfriend!" The man screamed, gripping a sharp knife, his emotions extremely unstable, as if he might swing the knife at any moment.
“It really is you.” Zhou Qiao calmed down instantly. She recognized this person; he was Qin You’s biggest fan. He had followed her back before, and the matter was only resolved after the police were called.
Unexpectedly, because of Qin You's public declaration of love that day, this person has resurfaced!
The road was pitch black all around. If they ran, they might not be able to outrun this person. If they ran into a place without surveillance, they would die without even knowing why.
Xu Songning tried to calm her down, "You've misunderstood! How could Qin You like her? Qin You hasn't been here since he joined the band!"
"He hasn't been here? You can't even make up something real to fool me! I saw him! Even though he was wearing a mask and changed his clothes, I could still recognize him! He's been staying here the whole time, hanging out with you!" The man pointed his knife directly at Zhou Qiao's chest.
Zhou Qiao gripped Xu Songning's wrist tightly and whispered, "She's here to see me. Run to the side later, Captain Xiang will be here soon. You can also run towards the bar to call for help!"
"How could I leave you here alone?" Xu Songning said anxiously. She had notified Qin You, but damn it, why wasn't that troublemaker here yet?!
"You think you can run away? Nobody can run away! You're all going to die! You're all going to die!" the man screamed as he ran over and slashed at Xu Songning first.
Xu Songning immediately threw the bag in his hand, which hit her hard in the face, but she seemed to feel no pain. She changed direction, grabbed the knife, and ran towards Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao is her ultimate target!
"Qiaoqiao! Run!" Xu Songning shouted.
Zhou Qiao knew that the person's priority target was definitely her, so she ran in another direction without hesitation.
Regardless of whether anyone can save her, the priority is to take that madman away first!
Xu Songning didn't have time to chase after them; he quickly ran back to call for help and bumped into Qin You, who was rushing over.
"Where is he?!" Qin You roared.
Xu Songning, panting, pointed in a direction, and Qin You immediately ran off.
The familiar car was parked by the roadside. Xiang Yun strode out of the car and helped Xu Songning up, asking, "Are you alright?"
Xu Songning caught her breath, "I'm fine! Qiaoqiao and Qin You are over there, let's go quickly!"
Zhou Qiao didn't know which direction she was running in. The more she ran, the dimmer the surrounding lights became, and the time difference was simply not enough.
The madman was in great shape and kept up close to Zhou Qiao even uphill. On the contrary, Zhou Qiao's stamina was getting worse and worse, and the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter. A cold light flashed behind her, and she had to put in more effort.
"You can't escape!" the man shouted, picked up a stone from the roadside, and threw it at Zhou Qiao's leg.
The sharp pain from the blow to Zhou Qiao's calf almost caused her to collapse to her knees.
Zhou Qiao gritted her teeth and kept running. In the dim light, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer. The fear of the past few years finally turned into a sharp blade, about to fall from Zhou Qiao's head.
The man's footsteps grew closer, and he plunged the knife in his hand fiercely into Zhou Qiao's back.
"Pfft!"
The blade pierced through the flesh of the body.
Zhou Qiao covered her head with her arms and fell to the ground without experiencing the expected pain.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
Blood dripped onto the ground.
Zhou Qiao opened her eyes with trembling hands and saw a resolute figure standing in front of her, the dagger piercing through her shoulder blade and protruding forward.
"Qin You... Qin You!"
Zhou Qiao threw herself on him, her eyes bloodshot, her fingers trembling, not daring to touch his wounds.
The person was stunned, as if frozen in time, trembling as if they couldn't believe they had hurt someone.
When Xiang Yun and Xu Songning arrived, they were also shocked by what they saw.
Xiang Yun subdued the man and tied him up with the rope he brought from the car. The man didn't react at all, sitting on the ground watching Zhou Qiao hold Qin You in her arms. When she saw Zhou Qiao's tears, she actually giggled.
When the police came and took the person away, she didn't struggle or resist; she just smiled foolishly.
Qin You was wheeled into the operating room. Zhou Qiao's hands were covered in his blood, and she stared blankly at her hands.
Xu Songning tenderly pulled her into his arms, wiped her fingers clean, and asked her repeatedly, "Are you hurt? Are you alright?"
Zhou Qiao nodded without speaking, her eyes vacant, as if her world consisted only of the red light during surgery, and she kept repeating that Qin You was an idiot!
An hour later, the red light finally turned green.
Qin You was transferred to a regular ward, and Zhou Qiao stayed by his side without leaving for a moment. Xu Songning called her, but she did not respond. She just sat by the bedside, waiting for Qin You to wake up.
Xu Songning and Xiang Yun sat outside the ward. Her phone had been retrieved, but the screen was shattered beyond recognition.
The police contacted Xiang Yun and told them that the person who caused the injury had a mental illness.
After regaining consciousness, she realized that she had stabbed Qin You, and she suffered a severe mental shock. Her family had sent her to a mental hospital in her hometown for treatment.
If we try to hold her accountable, the outcome might not be ideal, but what we can guarantee is that she won't be able to hurt anyone again.
"She had stalked Qiaoqiao before, but I never thought she would do something like this!" Xu Songning trembled with anger.
Xiang Yun held the person in his arms and comforted him softly, "This was something that couldn't have been predicted. Fortunately, the person is locked up, so Boss Zhou won't have to worry about it anymore."
"Will Qin You be alright?" Xu Songning asked.
"No, the doctor said the surgery avoided vital areas and the bones are all intact. The surgery was very successful, and he just needs to rest to recover. He doesn't have any activities planned for the second half of the year, so it's a good time for him to rest. It's just that we'll have to trouble Boss Zhou," Xiang Yun said.
The ward door opened, and Xiang Yun and Xu Songning immediately separated.
Zhou Qiao regained some energy, but her face still looked rather haggard. "You guys should go back first. You'll be busy tomorrow, so don't waste time here."
“How can you say this is delaying things? If you’re in trouble, we’ll definitely help.” Xu Songning stepped forward and took her hand.
"Take good care of him, and leave anything to us," Xiang Yun agreed.
Zhou Qiao shook her head. "It's nothing serious. I plan to close the bar for a week and take care of him until he's discharged from the hospital."
Zhou Qiao didn't want to bother with him, since he was injured while saving her.
She sent Xu Songning and Xiang Yun away, dragged a stool over, sat down by the hospital bed, and looked at Qin You, who was bandaged up.
Why are you doing this to yourself? You keep bothering me and you've even hurt yourself.
"This is something that concerns me. Why didn't you tell me about her following you before?" Qin You's lips were pale as he stared at the snow-white ceiling.
He disliked the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
"Would it do any good to tell you?" Zhou Qiao wanted to smoke; after the fear subsided, all the muscles in her body were screaming with soreness.
"So, will I be of any use this time?"
"Trying to use this to blackmail me into repaying a debt of gratitude?"
"Do you really think of me as that kind of person?" Qin You smiled bitterly and closed his eyes. "Someone will come to pick me up tomorrow, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Do you think I want to care about you? Even if you die there, I won't care!" Zhou Qiao said angrily.
Qin You lost too much blood. He was just unwilling to watch her leave, but he fell asleep after closing his eyes.
Zhou Qiao looked at his pale face and stood there for a long time, but in the end she did not leave and sat back down on the wooden bench.
